2024 Graduate With No Offer - What to do?

Oxford/Cambridge/LSE student here. Did a summer at an EB (EVR/CVP/LAZ) in 2023 and did not get a return. Re-recruited for a variety of IB & buyside summers, grad roles, and off-cycles and got nothing. Feeling pretty shit atm. No clue what to do - graduating in 5 months time and have no offer.

Any advice?

Thank you

Have you applied to summers? Some have not yet given out offers (SocGen, Santander etc.) maybe try to reach out to their recruiters and try to see if you have a shot in case something opens up. Probably won’t work but honestly worth a shot
